needs_id_regex should not apply on needs_external_needs

[David-Le-Nir]

When using needs_id_regex and when referencing external documents via needs_external_needs the regex is checked against all "remote" needs.

Would it be possible to only check the regex for the "local" document ?

For my users, each document should have its own regex for their own needs. Then when they refer to other documents, the regex check fails.

I agree with my users that the expected behaviour of the needs_id_regex should to only apply locally because else every documents have to use the same regex.

I guess including is_external value in the regex check would not be too hard. The questions are:

• how to make this behaviour optional, like a new option need_id_regex_local_only
• and what would be its default value

If you agree on this, I can make the PR if you want.

Ohh, that's an interesting bug, and thanks for reporting it.

I agree that the external_needs should not be checked by the regex.
So I don't even need an option to configure this, I would just deactivate it completely for external_needs.

I see no use case, why the needs of project A should be checked by rules in project B.

Will be happy to merge an upcoming PR.
